As it stands we only have two props signed for next year; O'Meley & Moa. I think a side needs 5 prop forwards in their squad, just like this year.

Cusack is retiring and hopefully be replaced by LMS or a prop of that calibur.

That leaves us with Dowes & Radders. I'd keep Dowsey as he has a few more years left in him than Radford and he seems to have raised his game this season. Radford I'm not too impressed with.

So, would you rather keep Radford or replace him with Wheeldon? (I know it's not as simple as that in reality).

O'Meley
Moa
Dowes
McCarthy-Scarsbrook
Wheeldon

I'd be more than happy with that.

Me too!



All our cap on the forwards.

IMO wheeldon needs to be at least 4th choice.

I'd love him to get that in hull but if he has to look else where so be it.

straight choice at the mo between quins and wakey....and waket are front runners after sundays showing by quins

I think Wheeldon is an option if we can get him cheap enough and use him as 4th/5th choice.

Wheeldon would be a last resort 5th choice for me.

Dowesy to stay, I know people winge endlessly about him but he is solid in defence and keep sit up for long periods of the game.

I think I would keep Radford ahead of Wheeldon if only for one season, Wheeldon has struggled to impress in a KR team short on size and weight. I like the guy and I was sorry to see him leave, but he has moved on and so have we.

Fieldon looks better this season and for that I expect he will either stay at Wigan or maybe follow his mentor to Taffy land. Radders still has plenty to offer in attack and defence, the penalty count is a tad high but he is the one maybe standing out when the ref is looking to issue one.

dowes will get 2 years and radford another year. We won't sign wheeldon who is an honest forward but not good enough for a side at the top end of the table

already agreed i heard.

dont believe everything i tell ye.

Exactly.

Get him signed up then

Cheers, I will. I need a gardner

Under contract at Saints I believe.
Gardeners are ten a penny mind.

If Wheeldon was the best we could sign then I would seriously be miffed. I would rather keep the cap space then let that waste of space sponge off us because Morgan failed on him

Ten a penny? Might be in staffordshire but the last one I had round wanted £25 an hour cash

No thanks to Wheeldon. Rdaford and Dowes will sign plus we have Ogre and Moa and Lauaki too. Still expect one prop to come in.

You'd be happy to take back a failed HKR prop who isn't big enough or good enough for any top half SL team ? (and never will be)

The mind boggles !

Grudgehull's obsession with our players did us a favour on this occasion. Wheeldon sniffed out some more cash and sold his soul to our little neighbours. We knew when he went that he was never going to be good enough for a SL club wanting to challenge. Good riddance to him and good luck at Quins, Wakey or Salford.

Bit harsh IMO. If he was offered more money and more chance of a starting spot it was the right decision. You do realise that playing rugby is his job don't you?

Bloody Hell, you accusing someone on here of making a "harsh" comment! Surely that's your speciality.

You reckon? You should go back and read some of my posts instead of jumping on the bandwagon

I would but it's full

i would look at playing lauaki at prop next year with the amount of back rowers at the club.

i would keep Dowes as i think there is very little between him and Radford plus Dowes has age on his side. i would look to sign either Fielden or LMS so our pack next year potentially would look like

O'Meley
Houghton
Fielden/LMS
Manu
Tickle
Fitz

that would leave Lauaki, Dowes, Moa, Burnett, Berrigan, Washbrook for rotation and bench places.

i would never re sign a player who left to go to caravan park
i would keep radford as now hes at priop hes finally playing well for us
dowes needs to improve dramticaaly to stay and cusack has gone

would you spend the money fielden would want on a prop?
